Thank You and good bye !!

Well its been fun, since the first trip to the dealers in Nov 04 and deciding what to order and waiting for the delivery during the Jan 05 production fiasco..

Modding, having fun etc

I sold her.... replaced her with a 345hp Hemi Ram Truck.....


She was fun while I had her, kids the boat just required us changing our vehicles around, that and about $11,000 off the sticker price on my truck just well I am a car nut so not having a Hemi before, 345 ponies just called to me...

But no fear in 5 years I will be back, maybe with a GT/SE/Shelby ????

Generally Mustang Sales regret sets in long before 5 years. I'd say in about 6 months you will be starting to miss her really badly.

Best of luck to you, I'm sure you will be happy with the truck! I'm sure you will miss the Stang, hopefully you can get another someday.

Best of luck but I also give you a year tops before you regret the sale. Of course, pulling a boat with a Stang would look rather silly.

Hemi = Nice engine
Dodge transmissions = Hope you bought the extended warranty

Good luck!

A good friend of mine had driven nothing but Dodge vehickes all of his life. Not too long ago he had a problem with a new Dodge pickup he he had purchased. After months of convincing, he decided to buy an F-150.

After which, he said he can't believe how much more truck the Ford was and how if he had known this years before, he would not have driven Dodges all of that time. He has just bought his second Ford pickup last month.

Let's face it, if it wasn't for the Hemi, hardly anyone would be buying Chrysler products. Ask Daimler, they have been trying to sell off the Chrysler Division and there are NO interested parties.

I wish you luck with the Dodge. Get all the extended warranty you can get, there is a better than average chance you will need it.

With gas headed back over $3/gallon, I bet there are good truck deals to be had! I love pick ups, but 22mpg with my 06 GT on my daily 50 mile commute is about the least I can stand. That said, I bet the hemi truck is a nice vehicle.
